English wordlist (DOS format)

A list of 109582 English words compiled and corrected in 1991 from lists obtained from the Interociter bulletin
board. The original read.me file said
that the list came from Public Brand Software.

This word list includes inflected forms, such as plural nouns and
the -s, -ed and -ing forms of verbs. Thus the number of lexical stems
represented in the list is considerably smaller than the total
number of words.

Homophones (comma-delimited database format)

The list of American English homophones is based on
the book _Handbook of Homophones_ by William Cameron Townsend, 1975. The Australian English list of homophones was adapted from the American English list.

Each set of homophones is on a single
line separated by
commas. The list is alphabetized by the first
word (the headword) on each line. Each word in the list occurs as a
headword; thus each word occurs at least twice: once as a headword and at
least once in the tail of the list.
